TGDI+ Pool Day 2024!

TGDI+ Pool Day is back for transgender, gender diverse, and intersex communities and our allies! Enjoy swimming, sunshine, and hanging out with community at the Canberra Olympic Pool with A Gender Agenda.

We have booked the pool from 2:30-7 pm, so only community members and our allies will be in the space.

We'll be having a sausage sizzle from 5-6 pm in the outdoor picnic area, with meat & veggie sausages, onion, gluten & gluten-free bread, sauces, drinks, and Zooper Doopers. This BBQ is collecting gold coin donations to go towards Encampment 2025! A LGBTIQA+ camp for young people aged 13-17 years! You can bring gold coins on the day or make a donation through the AGA website if you wish. You are welcome to bring your own picnic dinner too.

Tickets are the price of pool entry, but there are also free tickets available for those who need them. If you need a free ticket and they are sold out please reach out to us at agaevents@genderrights.org.au

This event is open to transgender, gender diverse, and intersex people and our invited allies. Cisgender/endosex folk who have been invited by a member of the trans, gender diverse or intersex community are welcome to attend. This is an autonomous space for the safety and comfort of the trans, gender diverse and intersex communities, and we ask that this is respected.

All children under 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

A peer navigator with a trans flag will be waiting at the entry from 2:30-3 pm to let you in and direct you. If you arrive later than that, please call us on 0403 085 772.
